Selecting the Right Commercial Dishwasher For Your Business

After cooking in your commercial kitchen is done, and your customers have been served their meals and drinks, you need the right dishwasher to ensure your dishes, cups, glasses and utensils are cleaned properly and efficiently.

Dishwashers can be categorised as an undercounter dishwasher, glasswasher, or passthrough dishwasher.

There are many factors to consider when selecting the best commercial dishwasher for your restaurant, café, bar or club. It can be tricky to know where to begin with so many available models and brands, each with specific functions.

Glasswashers

If you own a bar, restaurant, or café that is regularly serving drinks, it is required that you have a suitable glasswasher to sanitize your glassware.

A glasswasher is specifically designed for the use of washing, rinsing, sanitising and drying drinking glasses. It performs washing of cups and glasses in all shapes, sizes and styles and can turnaround your glasses in as little as 60 seconds.

If drinks are a priority for your business, we recommend the Hobart EcoMax 402 Undercounter Dishwasher.

Undercounter Dishwasher

If you are looking for a dishwasher that fits neatly under your countertop, but more importantly acts as a time-saving method that efficiently washes dishes, cutlery, and glasses, then we suggest you look no further than an undercounter dishwasher.

Dishwashers provide a powerful, quick, and efficient wash. They can wash your plates, bowls, cups and glasses in as little as 60 seconds. With easy controls, they are simple to use and depending on the model selected, you can receive a dish rack, universal rack, and/or cutlery rack, which all ensure an easy cleaning process.

Check out our Hobart FX Undercounter Dishwasher which could be a great option to suit your dishwashing needs.

Passthrough Dishwasher

Commercial passthrough dishwashers are high volume, high efficiency machines, capable of washing up to 1,000 plates per hour.

When selecting the best passthrough dishwasher for your kitchen, you will first need to determine if you have the space for it, in addition to extra space surrounding the machine.

You will need a space before the dishwasher for stacking your plates, cups, glasses and utensils. You may also need a pre-rinse sink with a jet tap before the wash to keep your dishwasher free of debris. Then on the other side you will need an area for cooling and drying.

One of the biggest advantages of a passthrough dishwasher, is that there is no door that needs to be opened into your kitchen aisle. Instead the wash hood moves up and down and the trays just pass through. This will mean your staff can easily get past, and it can also cut down loading time from 30 seconds to 10 seconds. This can make a huge difference in busy times.

If you have the space and need high volume turnaround, a passthrough dishwasher is recommended.
